Video Description Recorded in the gallery of the North Shore Arts Association in East Gloucester, this video captures a lecture by local historian and Cape Ann Museum volunteer Mary Rhinelander McCarl in which she speaks about the late 19th century art colonies that flourished on Cape Ann. Drawn by the picturesque, accessible, and relatively inexpensive setting, many artists began to gather in Gloucester during The Beginnings of the Art Colonies of Cape Ann, 1875-1923 – VL33 – page 2 this time from several metropolitan areas while locally born artists thrived as well.

    1 THANK YOU M'am by LANGSTON HUGHES A. Answer Thes

    CLASS 11 SUBJECT – ENGLISH Chapters 1, 2, 3, CHAPTER – 1 THANK YOU M'AM By LANGSTON HUGHES A. Answer these questions in 30 – 40 words. 1.What did the boy try to snatch? Answer : The boy tried to snatch the purse of Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones to get money so that he can purchase blue suede shoes. 2.Why was he not successful in his attempt? Answer: He was not successful in his attempt because the strap of a purse broke with the single tug the boy gave it from behind. But the boy’s weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance. So, instead of running away as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk, and his legs flew up. 3.What did the woman do in response? Answer: The large woman simply turned around and kicked him directly to his blue-jeaned sitter. Then she reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled 4.Why did the boy not run away when the woman finally let go of his neck? Answer: The boy did not run away when the woman finally let go of his neck because he realized his mistakes and he was sorry for the action he had done. Moreover, he was given second chance by the woman when she took him at her apartment rather than to the police. 5.Why was the boy trying to steal? Answer: The boy said that the reason behind his action of trying to steal the purse of the woman was because he wanted to buy a pair of blue suede shoes.

    “Twilight Moon” by Isaak Levitan, 1898 O MAGIC LAKE чайкаTHE ENVIRONMENT OF THE SEAGULL THE DACHA дать dat to give DEFINITION датьA seasonal or year-round home in “Russian Dacha or Summer House” by Karl Ivanovich Russia. Ranging from shacks to cottages Kollman,1834 to villas, dachas have reflected changes in property ownership throughout Russian history. In 1894, the year Chekhov wrote The Seagull, dachas were more commonly owned by the “new rich” than ever before. The characters in The Seagull more likely represent the class of the intelligencia: artists, authors, and actors. FUN FACTS Dachas have strong connections with nature, bringing farming and gardening to city folk. A higher class Russian vacation home or estate was called a Usad’ba. Dachas were often associated with adultery and debauchery. 1 HISTORYистория & ARCHITECTURE история istoria history дать HISTORY The term “dacha” originally referred to “The Abolition of Serfdom in Russia” by the land given to civil servants and war Alphonse Mucha heroes by the tsar. In 1861, Tsar Alexander II abolished serfdom in Russia, and the middle class was able to purchase dwellings built on dachas. These people were called dachniki. Chekhov ridiculed dashniki. ARCHITECTURE Neoclassicism represented intelligence An example of 19th century and culture, so aristocrats of this time neoclassical architecture attempted to reflect this in their architecture. Features of neoclassical architecture include geometric forms, simplicity in structure, grand scales, dramatic use of Greek columns, Roman details, and French windows. Sorin’s estate includes French windows, and likely other elements of neoclassical style. Chekhov’s White Dacha in Melikhovo, 1893 МéлиховоMELIKHOVO Мéлихово Meleekhovo Chekhov’s estate WHITE Chekhov’s house was called “The White DACHA Dacha” and was on the Melikhovo estate.

It seemed as strange now to be on solid earth as it had been, not long ago, to be rocked by the sea both by day and by night; and the aspect of the land was equally strange. The forests which showed in the distance all around, and which, in truth, were not very far from the wooden houses forming the town of Boston, were of different shades of green, and different, too, in shape of outline to those which Lois Barclay knew well in her old home in Warwickshire. Her heart sank a little as she stood alone, waiting for the captain of the good ship Redemption, the kind, rough old sailor, who was her only known friend in this unknown continent. Captain Holdernesse was busy, however, as she saw, and it would probably be some time before he would be ready to attend to her; so Lois sat down on one of the casks that lay about, and wrapped her grey duffle cloak tight around her, and sheltered herself under her hood, as well as might be, from the piercing wind, which seemed to follow those whom it had tyrannised over at sea with a dogged wish of still tormenting them on land.

    The Salem Witch Trials and Mccarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria

    The Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria An ELA Performance Task Curriculum-Embedded The Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria Introductory Classroom Activity (30 minutes) Have students sit in small groups of about 4-5 people. Each group should have someone to record its discussion and someone who will report out orally for the group. Present on a projector the video clip of the documentary “He may be a communist.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWeZ5SKXvj8) After watching the trailer once, ask each group recorder to create two columns on a piece of paper. In one column, the group will list techniques used in the clips to promote fear and distrust in the communist party; in the other column, the group will be asked to list positive images from the clip used to promote anti- communist fervor. To clarify this assignment, ask the following two questions: 1. What evidence do you see of strategies being used to create feelings of fear or discomfort about the communist party? (Possible responses: “physical appearance counts for nothing”—they could be anywhere among us; characters are shady sometimes (man in fedora), strident and borderline manic (woman giving speech); they work silently among us; loaded language like “red menace”; communists break into home of all- American family; recruitment of youth who are brainwashed automatons; fear of being reported to authorities.) 2. What elements were present showing that to be anti-communist is a sign of goodness and patriotism? (Possible responses: repeated use of American flag; references to God and country; Statue of Liberty; patriotic music playing under the marches (a contrast to the marches shown earlier in the reel of communist sympathizers); youth in uniform; father bravely attempting to protect his family, although powerless to stop communists.) Have the students watch the trailer one more time while keeping these questions in mind.

    Toronto Slavic Quarterly. № 43. Winter 2013

    TRANSLATION Aleksandr Chekhov In Melikhovo Translated by Eugene Alper This translation came about as the result of a surprise. A few years ago I noticed in amazement that despite the all-pervasive interest in everything and anything related to Anton Chekhov, among the multiple translations of his stories and plays, among the many biographies, research papers, and monographs describing his life in minute details and spliting hairs over the provenance of his characters, amidst the lively and bubbly pond of chekhovedenie, there was a lacuna: a number of memoirs about Chekhov writen by people closest to him were not available in English. Since then I have translated a couple of them—About Chekhov by his personal physician Isaac Altshuller (in Chekhov the Immigrant: Translating a Cultural Icon, Michael C. Finke, Julie de Sherbinin, eds., Slavica, 2007) and Anton Chekhov: A Brother’s Memoir by his younger brother Mikhail, Palgrave Macmillan, 2009, as have other translators, the most recent being Peter Sekirin’s Memories of Chekhov (McFarland, 2011)—but there is still more to be done. The book by Chekhov’s sister Maria, for one, remains unavailable to the English reader. The following translation of a memoir by Chekhov’s older brother Alek- sandr is aiming to place another litle patch over the gap. Aleksandr Chekhov (1855-1913) was an accomplished writer in his own right; although never rising to Anton’s level of celebrity (very few could), his short stories, essays, and articles were published regularly during his lifetime. This memoir—one of several writen by Aleksandr following Anton’s death in 1904—was published in 1911.
